This is the reality when a Pakistani flag goes up and the taranga goes down
You Eat this Reality
Even your cold war Allies USA Says you are Doing Propaganda Please check the date
Telegram from the Embassy of the United States in Karachi: "Continuing propaganda regarding achievements of Pak forces seems to have convinced most that only Pak forbearance saved the Indians from disaster."
Last reported Territory Captured is At 11pm on September 21, 1965, the 523 men of 3 Jat, led by their CO, Lieutenant Colonel Desmond Hayde (he had already been awarded the Maha Vir Chakra for his inspiring leadership on the first day of the offensive) rose, turned their faces towards their objective, Dograi, and never looked back.

At 11pm on September 21, 1965, the 523 men of 3 Jat, led by their CO, Lieutenant Colonel Desmond Hayde (he had already been awarded the Maha Vir Chakra for his inspiring leadership on the first day of the offensive) rose, turned their faces towards their objective, Dograi, and never looked back.
